摘要

计算机编程正成为年轻学生的一项基本技能,无论他们的教育背景或职业目标如何。因此,对于学生的发展和教育工作者和研究人员来说,准确地测量编程的自我效能和价值是很重要的。虽然学生在主题上的动机可以使用自我报告调查来衡量,但由于固有的偏见,这些类型的工具容易出错。在这项准实验和横断面研究中,我们考察了在进行感知调查之前使用计算机编程预测(即事先提供调查中关键概念的示例)是否会影响学生自我报告的自我效能感和效用价值,从而有助于收集更准确的数据。结果显示,接受预测者和未接受预测者在自我效能和价值得分上没有显著差异。然而,在进一步的分析中,我们发现测试前的表现与自我效能和价值呈正相关。此外,男孩报告的自我效能和价值显著高于女孩,证实了先前研究中概述的性别差异。一个探索性但重要的发现是,性别与自我效能感和效用价值的测试表现之间存在相互作用。虽然测试前得分高的男孩也报告了更高的自我效能感和效用价值,但女孩的情况恰恰相反。

An Exploration of Factors Impacting Middle School Students’ Attitudes Toward Computer Programming
Abstract Computer programming is becoming an essential skill for young students regardless of their education or career goals. Therefore, for students to develop and for educators and researchers to accurately measure self-efficacy in and value for programming is important. Although student motivation in subject matter can be measured using self-report surveys, these types of instruments are prone to error due to inherent biases. In this quasi-experimental and cross-sectional study, we examined whether using a computer programming pretest before taking a perception survey (i.e., providing examples of the key concept in the survey beforehand) had an impact on students’ self-reported self-efficacy and utility value, thus helping collect more accurate data. Results showed no significant difference on self-efficacy and value scores between those who received a pretest and those who did not. In further analysis, however, it was found that pretest performance was positively correlated with self-efficacy and value. In addition, boys reported significantly higher self-efficacy and value than girls, confirming gender disparity outlined in previous research. An exploratory, but important, finding was that there was an interaction between gender and test performance for the self-efficacy and utility value. While boys’ who had high pretest scores also reported higher levels of self-efficacy and utility value, it was the opposite for girls.

期刊介绍: Under the editorship of D. LaMont Johnson, PhD, a nationally recognized leader in the field of educational computing, Computers in the Schools is supported by an editorial review board of prominent specialists in the school and educational setting. Material presented in this highly acclaimed journal goes beyond the “how we did it” magazine article or handbook by offering a rich source of serious discussion for educators, administrators, computer center directors, and special service providers in the school setting. Articles emphasize the practical aspect of any application, but also tie theory to practice, relate present accomplishments to past efforts and future trends, identify conclusions and their implications.
